What does 12.7w on 24/7 for a year add up to ?

Well my old VM modem used 2.7 watts so I am using an extra 10 watts per hour to do the same job,
I work it out in my case as an extra £1.05 per month
an extra 10 watts per hour = 100 hours to use a unit at 14.5p
720 hours in a 30 day month divided by 100 = 7.2 units x 14.5 = 104.4p
so an extra £12.53 per year,
